Technical Service Delivery
You’ll be responsible for the overall management of Hard Services, ensuring all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire safety systems, lifts and building infrastructure are maintained to the highest operational standards.
Working closely with engineers, contractors and operational stakeholders, you’ll oversee Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programmes and reactive maintenance activities, ensuring critical assets remain reliable, compliant and capable of supporting day-to-day business operations.
A strong technical understanding of building services is essential because you’ll be responsible for making informed decisions regarding maintenance priorities, engineering solutions and long-term asset performance.
Team Leadership & Contractor Management
Success in this role relies upon effective leadership.
You’ll manage in-house engineering teams alongside specialist contractors, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with agreed service standards.
You’ll allocate work, monitor performance, provide technical support where required and ensure contractors maintain all necessary certifications, insurance documentation and statutory compliance.
Building positive relationships while maintaining high performance expectations will be key to delivering consistent service quality across the site.
Compliance & Risk Management
Maintaining a safe and compliant working environment is one of the most important aspects of this position.
You’ll ensure all maintenance activities comply with Health & Safety legislation, statutory inspection requirements and internal governance procedures.
Responsibilities include supporting audits, conducting risk assessments, maintaining compliance documentation and ensuring maintenance records remain accurate and up to date.
You’ll also lead the response to critical equipment failures or emergency situations, ensuring risks are managed effectively while minimising operational disruption.
Commercial & Operational Management
As Technical Facilities Manager, you’ll also oversee the commercial performance of the Hard Services function.
You’ll manage maintenance budgets, review contractor quotations, monitor operational expenditure and ensure services continue to provide value while maintaining the highest engineering standards.
Working with service providers and internal stakeholders, you’ll monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce costs and strengthen operational performance.
Sustainability & Continuous Improvement
Beyond maintaining existing standards, you’ll play an active role in improving them.
You’ll support sustainability initiatives, energy management programmes and continuous improvement projects designed to enhance building performance, reduce energy consumption and improve the long-term efficiency of engineering services across the site.
